Body Language and Microexpressions

default-16x9

It goes without saying that non verbal communication is as important as verbal communication.

As trainers we are constantly aware of the signals given off by others; attuned to their mood, state and body language; but to what extent do we need to dissect body language? To what degree do we need to take the communicative human creature to pieces in order to understand them?

It's an interesting question.

It is essential to recognise and pick up on the minutae of communication, but it's also essential to remain sensitive to the whole, to remain tuned into the 'feeling' of a group or an individual, without deconstructing too much.

We were recently approached by the Centre for Body Language, based in Belgium, to work with them to develop and host their body language and microexpressions training courses in the UK.

It's a fascinating approach to a specific element of communication, and we are offering a free webinar to those who are interested.

  1. Body language is crucial

     I believe that understanding body language is crucial. However, this doesn’t just mean being able to notice if someone is bored, or interested (though these are both important) it’s when you become aware of the subtle signals people give that will change the way you train for the better. Things such as what eye movements mean, and what poeple’s expressions are really saying about their thinking.
